$46 billion at a time when you have fiscal conservatives saying we need to be mindful of our debt and deficit and all these issues. what more can be done to bring in some of the republicans who stand opposed to the legislation if anything? >> i'm not sure that more can be done when you're just talking about just border security and enforcement as you mentioned. even republican supporters of the bill said this is overkill. they're adding so many border patrol agents and fencing. opponents had two big criticisms, the pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and secondly they believe there should be a trigger before this pathway exists. all of these border metrics should be met. it should be 100% impossible to cross. then you have the pathway to the citizenship. they don't like that because that leaves that pathway hanging in the air to be ripped apart perhaps in the future. >> all right. thank you. mark, appreciate you joining us. >> thanks. >>> up next, the hot story this hour, rachel jenteal, the state's witness has been sent home but she could be called back to testify. right now a

the number of agents on the border to almost 40,000 here, and now the cbo says it would shrink the deficit by $135 billion in the first ten years. all of that together, the house republicans, will they object to this bill with all of that built in now? >> i think it's anybody's guess. as we head into this 4th of july weekend, all eyes really are going to be in mid july when house republicans reconvene to talk about this immigration reform. but ever since november, richard, we've heard that they want to reach out to the hispanic community. this is a perfect opportunity for them to do that, but it's unknown whether they will. >> there's also this, bob. you know, the gop needs immigration reform to help the party in the long run as was just eluded to. there's a lot saying their constituents not on board with reform. when you look at this, it does come down to their districts. they've got to go back. they've got to win. there's 2014 right in front of them. something that may not resonate locally but certainly nationally at this moment. >> it doesn't resonate at all with many of them that they
